The scenery is worth it!

I started from the Denali Princess Lodge at 7:05am and made it to the top of the Mt. Healy Overlook at 8:40am. On this day I hiked fast and made only brief stops. From the trailhead, you can make it in 1 hour if you're quick. The trail is very well-travelled. There is an ok incline most of the way, and the final 20 minutes were more strenuous. I saw people of all ages hiking on this trail. The view from the top is amazing!

Great hike! Me and my friend went up to the summit, past the overlook, which was about 2500 feet of elevation gain and 7 miles round trip, but it was well worth it! We were on the trail by 7:30, and it seemed we were the first people that day, despite the somewhat late start. We made it to the overlook in less than 2 hours and made it to the summit in another hour. About half a mile up the ridge past the overlook, Denali came into view! It is crazy how many people miss a great view of it just because they don't want to hike a half mile further. As we were heading back down from the summit, an Arctic ground squirrel attempted to nibble on my shoe! They are not afraid of people at all, so please don't feed them and make it worse. We were back to the trailhead by noon. Great views, trail not mobbed, and definitely not very "strenuous," like the NPS puts it, but hey, I am a Coloradan, don't take me seriously.
